I don't think that this is the vest for you then. It's perfect for over a thermal, but an insulated jacket may be a bit much. Also, it will flop around too much if not fastened on the sides.

This jacket is adjustable. It has arm holes and a neck hole large enough to accomodate your jacket.

I ride horseback in the winter and I have an ex-large vest that fits very nice over a heavy down jacket. It is just the thing for safety

I think it's a preference thing. A medium harness does fit my dog but I prefer the large and adjust it to fit. I like to use the upper part that normally hitches to the leash LIKE the leash if I want to keep him close or don't have a leash on hand. I'm not speaking with ANY true knowledge. How about querying Coastal Pet Products or checking their website? Good luck with this!

I would say it is for males and females. It will compress somewhat when you cinch the waist strap (velcro). I'm only guessing but it may be uncomfortable for a "larger" woman. If you are only going to walk then there will be no problem. I (male) usually run with this vest and find that I fits better when cinched tightly using the attached, wide Velcro belt . The 40 1-pound weights come with it. You should add them symmetrically to the pockets in the vest to evenly distribute the weight. There are pockets in the front and back. Total of 40 pockets. I have used this vest to add resistance to my running exercise and would highly recommend it. Very good quality. I would say it is for males and females.

Absolutely. The straps are very long. I've worn this over a thick down jacket without any fitment issues. Keep in mind though that's its really a one size fits MANY concept. I highly recommend it.

We got the small for our Malti-tzu who is 14lbs and 17in. girth and it fits him with a little room to spare (has adjustable straps) and we got the medium for our pug who is 23lbs and 25in girth. The medium is really too long for him but because of his thick broad chest & neck we had to get a larger size (he is only 15in from his neck to tail the malti-tzu is 17). The life jacket does have a neoprene belly band that is made to fit a little snug, but does not seem uncomfortable to the dogs (it has a small margin of adjustment to it). It's a very well made life jacket and you can't beat this price anywhere. Your dogs' girth is so close to the max for the small it could probably fit a medium but keep in mind that it would be long and maybe even a little loose. However, if your dog keeps a summer haircut the small may be just fine. Hope this helped you.

HI Dallas, I have the 20" coat for my 51 lbs Vizsla. It fits perfectly. My dog is very skinny at the waist/belly, but quite wide in the chest, and muscular in the neck and shoulders. This coat is very rugged, with ribbed cuffs, and thick strong seams. I would not recommend putting a harness over this coat, as I would imagine it could create some friction spots and irritate your dog's skin. I have found that out the hard way int he past by putting a harness over a RUffwear jacket. I now always put the harnesses under the coat, and I cut small incisions in the jacket to allow for the "D" ring to be hooked to the leash. Hope this helps!

This vest is adjustable and I got it for a 9 pound Maltese who can't swim. I got the small, of course, but the straps to adjust are about 10 inches long, you could probably get away with the small, but you should, probably get the medium, because of his girth and adjust from there,

Hi, my lab is a lean 70 lbs. He dosent have a big chest. And I feel like there is barely enough Velcro to hold it. It does work for him but I don't like the metal loop the Velcro belt passes through on the front harness. It's in a area with a lot of movement and I feel like it should be more streamline or relocated. All that being said, we do use it quite often. I have not noticed any sore spots caused by the harness. And he dosent seem to mind wearing it. Loads must be perfectly equal on each side or the harness will sag to the heavier side. Hope this helps

Well I used 550 paracord to attach it to my molle vest. What I meant was that some vests just have the molle webbing and some have like button or Velcro molle straps already on themU should b fine with 550 paracord. It also fits nicely on a belt to.

The coat has Velcro fasteners on straps. The chest is covered but belly coverage depends on the size of your dog. It is not really designed to completely cover the belly.

I'm about the same and use an adult large/XL on my nat'l ski patrol winter helmet. The snaps will never line up with the different helmets (ISO 9000 anyone?). I detached the majority of my strap and attached it to motorcycle replacement buckles. If you can drill you own male end snaps you'll get a custom fit. Very comfortable chin cup. Has holes to drain sweat and does not absorb sweat. I also have one on my high angle technical rescue helmet. Saves my chin if I catch a wall.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps

To get a good secure and comfortable fit for you pet you will need to have couple measurements. First is around the front shoulders for the neck and the second is around the body behind the front legs. The information on exactly 'how to' is easily found on the web. The measurements I got from measuring my dog worked out exactly for a perfect fit of the harness.These harness ' are great for an active pet. Good luck and enjoy!!

I ordered the size large and it fits my dog well he is about 60lbs.http://www.myoutdoorhound.com/2523.html

The part where the D-rings are isn't really around the neck, exactly but on the small which is what I have, that area measures about 12 inches. I don't know how much larger the medium would be. It's getting a bit tight around the chest and my dog is a thin Italian Greyhound so I thought the small would fit for a longer period of time. He's only 10 pounds. I would say if you have any doubts, go a size up. This vest runs small and from what I have read, it runs smaller than Puppia's other vests.
